v1.0.0
- Updated for Battle for Azeroth beta and pre-patch, WoW patch 8.0.x. Updated TOC and made many required changes.
- This release is backward compatible with Legion. (This may not be the case for future releases.)
- Reworked the achievement search system. Searches should generally take less time and they now allow other activity to continue during a search.
- Search Tab:
-- "Personal" type split into "Personal" and "Other." The latter are achievements that do not have a category which belongs in the base UI. (Since all of them are unlisted achievements, selecting the "Other" type causes the search to include unlisted achievements even when the box to do so is unchecked.)
-- Added an option to direct searches started by slash commands (like "/ach") to the Search tab.
- When not directed to the Search tab, slash commands that searched for achievements will now also search through unlisted achievements. Excludes the "silent" slash commands such as "/achs". (When directed to the tab, whether they include unlisted achievements is determined by the relevant checkbox found there.)
- Minimap tooltips are now properly supported by the tooltip reminders feature. Up/down arrows (indicating a node's relative vertical position) do not prevent the reminder from showing and multiple nodes showing in the tooltip at once are now handled.
- Suggestions Tab: Added suggestions for Seething Shore.
- Tabs module: Added text overlay to indicate when the achievement completion filter (earned or incomplete) has caused an achievement to be omitted from the Suggestions or Related tabs.
- Improved ability to toggle tracking an achievement by ctrl+clicking on its link. Overachiever will now attempt to toggle tracking when the selected achievement is part of a series to which the linked achievement belongs (rather than requiring the linked achievement itself to be selected).
- Option "Startup: Throttle achievement lookup" is now disabled by default and it is automatically disabled for users upgrading from a pre-1.0 version of Overachiever.

 

v0.99.11
- New option added to exclude guild achievements from "need to kill" reminders.
- Added achievements for Argus zones to exploration auto-tracking.
- Fixed an issue where taint could be introduced when clicking a hyperlink.
- Suggestions Tab:
-- Added suggestions for Argus zones, the Seat of the Triumvirate, and Antorus, the Burning Throne.
-- Updated suggestions for Ulduar to account for 10- and 25-man achievements being replaced by new any-raid-size achievements.
- Tabs module: Added text overlay to indicate when the achievement completion filter (earned or incomplete) has caused an achievement to be omitted from the Search results or a Watch list.
- Fixed an error that can occur if the Tabs module is disabled and a holiday toast is clicked.

 

v0.99.10
- Change the way consumed item tracking works in an attempt to improve performance when bag contents change.
- Added option "Startup: Throttle achievement lookup" to replace the special variable THROTTLE_ACHLOOKUP. (For details on its purpose, see notes for v0.99.9.)

 

v0.99.9
- Updated for WoW patch 7.3. (Updated TOC and fixed common errors.)
- Holiday/Event Toasts: Added option to control the appearance of Miscellaneous toasts (such as raid release days). Disabled by default.
- Attempt to alleviate lag at startup for some users by stretching out the background work so it is less demanding each tick.
-- Some users with a high number of achievement points have reported problems with the background task. If the changes introduced in this version do not alleviate the problem, then advanced users can switch back to having the work done all at once on startup by changing the value of the variable THROTTLE_ACHLOOKUP in Overachiever.lua to false. (A better solution is being worked on.)
- Prevent potential temporary freeze that could occur if the kill-criteria background task is still running and the tooltip for a killable NPC is requested. Previously, the task was forced to completion in that event to ensure the tooltip would accurately display whether the NPC needs to be killed for an achievement. Now, only the data compiled so far is considered when updating the tooltip. (This means tooltips presented may be incomplete for up to several seconds after startup, depending on the achievement, but this seemed preferable to the freeze since it happened regardless of whether the NPC's tooltip ultimately needed an update.)
